Here are some of the better finds from Sunday?s hunt at the drained lake. The middle of the lake is showing no sign of drying out so I detected the sandy swim area again from shallow area down to the mud line, back and forth.

Same lake just 18 days ago.

A few of the relics I found, I thought the bracelet was 9K gold but I can?t find a stamp. A nice Military button with the number 5 on it and a small souvenir pin from Nuerenberg Germany.

Four pieces of silver, a thick 925 silver bracelet and two 925 silver rings, the lower ring is an 825 silver missing the stone.

And two reasons I detect beaches, both are stamped 14K (585) gold. A very nice ring and bracelet, I just rinsed them off with water and a soft brush. Also found a nice hand full of clad. A rough estimate of finds for about 15 hours detecting this beach adds up to more than $400.00, and there is more there. Thanks for looking and HH, Mike

Oh man, you're making me antsy for the river here to get drained! Seriously, the river that flows through town here gets drained each spring so folks can perform maintenance on their docks. The river is only about 4-7 feet deep, but used big time in the spring, summer and fall by skiers, boaters, jet skiers, fishermen and there's a big tourist boat that gives rides during the summer. It takes a while for the muck on the bottom to get firm enough to walk on/through, but I think that ought to be a pretty good place to MD, especially after seeing what you've found in that lake!

Congrats and HH, ya'll!

o yes lovely finds,, keep it up mike,, that bracelet with no stamp maybe very old, look after that one,, id love to get my detector over that area, looks very interesting, is this lake being drained for a purpose or is it draining naturally.
